Red Pine
Description Red pine (Pinus resinosa) is a fast-growing, long-lived evergreen tree. Red pine has distinctive reddish-brown scale bark and dark-green, tufted needles. Red pine prefers full sun on a moist or dry site with poor, sandy soils. Red pine is often used as an ornamental shade tree, windbreak, and pasture tree. Its wood is used for general construction, millwork, and pulpwood. Red pine makes a good pasture tree but needs to be guarded while young.
